Edge how to Always open favorites in new tab?
Dennis5mile
For the LOVE OF ****.....!!!!
Now with today's updates, I've checked BOTH of those Shortcuts, and they aren't working.
I think the "reason" I got them working again is because I've also disabled the million things Microsoft keeps running in the background with Edge in Edge Settings.
So, I think that might have been why yours still wouldn't work?
But, the Update today,, which I think added something back or enabled a setting I had removed, added one of those back, so now I have to try to figure it out if I can fix it again. 😞
I truly HATE Microsoft.... A simple feature they can't actually get to work. NEEDED FEATURE.
UPDATE: And of course, went through every Setting and don't see anything "new" or that was activated from the Update.
I mean seriously.... Am I going to have to go back to MAXTHON, or maybe Vivaldi? I thought Microsoft was finally being smart adding Modern Browser functions to their Browser, but clearly NOT. Just like Windows, they can't do ANYTHING RIGHT....!!! 😞
I only went to Edge just so I could have and use my info anywhere I go, since every computer has Edge on it.
But, clearly not....
I'm tried of Microsoft.... Seriously.
I shouldn't have to use 5 different programs to make Windows 11 and now even 10 on some things for it to work like it should.
I shouldn't have to complain CONSTANTLY about the most BASIC Browser Feature Not existing or Not working in my Browser.
The world is clearly going to HELL.... 😞

As of Today, this key " --enable-features=msFavoritesOpenInNewTabSetting" no longer works in any version of Edge. No idea why they find it necessary to remove it and since no one from MS seems to care enough to want to inform the public or it's beta users the reason for this. We are without it......
I can rememeber when all this started Tech's were eager to post replies in these forums, but today, it would seem they just blow it off...........

- leeuniverseOct 19, 2024Brass ContributorAll because of these "people".... I've had to spend my ENTIRE day trying to get Maxthon and Vivaldi to work....
Maxthon has lot's of issues that aren't fixable anytime soon, so that was a waste.
Vivaldi I've had to do a MASSIVE amount of "Modification" just to make things look and work properly, at least "most" of what needed to be done.
It's one thing Edge did right is their "design" and functionality was good out of the box, I didn't have to "mod" anything.
But, I've now gotten Vivaldi working to where it looks like I can use it.
Though, I still have to see if their "Email Client" is good enough.....
ANOTHER example of Microsoft's absolute incompetence.... I have to leave Windows Mail and Calendar, MS's BEST Email client in UI, ease of use etc. because they are getting rid of it. Outlook is absolutely TERRIBLE.... bad UI, no Unified Inbox, Intrusive Ad, etc.
These damned people WASTE so much of my TIME, when I should be Job Hunting right now. 😞- leeuniverseOct 22, 2024Brass Contributor

The Microsoft Edge Team 😞Wonder if they actually did fix it....? And what Update it will be in?
It would be a miracle if they did.... nice they are FINALLY listening after 2 YEARS they first added the Feature.... LOL
